Isn't that the basics of gaslighting?

Not really, gaslighting is convincing someone to question reality.

What's good for the goose isn't good for the gander? Of course it is when you're the goose. Telling someone that what they are doing is bad even though you're the one doing it is gaslighting too

I think the previous poster (and myself as well) misunderstood your post. I understood you meant that the call for surveillance of Facebook was gaslighting, but from this post I see you meant Facebooks behaviour is gaslighting.

I agree that's a valid interpretation of gaslighting.

But there's a perfectly good word for that already: hypocrisy. Gaslighting describes something completely different.

I don't see how sousveillance and gaslighting are related.

i didn't say they were. Facebook telling people to stop hoovering data about them while hoovering data about everyone else on the planet is.

I misunderstood then. I agree with you.
